The "I" List

I stole this from Jan's blog. I thought it was such a great post and wanted to do it for myself.



I am: Constantly learning. Life holds many lessons for me.

I think: I should cut my hair, but everyone keeps telling me not to.

I know: I have a Heavenly Father who loves me.

I want: To be less of a worry wart, be more carefree.

I have: One leg that is longer than the other, and one ear higher than the other.

I dislike: Big crowds, pushy people, slow traffic lights

I miss: The sun, sand, and beach of a certain tropical island.

I fear: Losing my memory (and my mind). I think it's already happening.

I feel: Like taking a hike in the mountains

I hear: Morgan's babbling, music, construction (grrr.......)

I smell: Not much, I'm stuffed up

I crave: A good foot massage, a captivating book, and my mom's pumpkin pies.

I usually: Am not a morning person AT ALL. I like to have some lazy time in the morning.

I search: For buried treasure. Not really, but I wish I could.

I wonder: Why every time I go shopping, I can never find the right size. Is it some kind of conspiracy to drive me crazy?

I regret: Not standing up for myself more

I love: Quiet time, my children's smiles, a good deed

I care: Too much about what other people think.

I always: Procrastinate.

I worry: About everything. That is not an exageration. Will it rain tomorrow? What should I make for dinner? Are my kids normal? Mostly my family, my friends......just want everyone to be happy.

I am not: A fan of riding in the car for long trips. I get pretty carsick.

I remember: Going to lunch with my grandmother Eddis and visiting the high school she was a librarian at. I loved visiting my grandparents house in Idaho. It was the neatest place, and she always had a big jar of Oreo cookies on the kitchen counter. She had a really good sense of style and lots of neat books.

I believe: In the power of a mother's love. Many great men and women attribute their successes to their mothers.

I sing: With my kids in the car, or while I'm making dinner.

I don't always: Return phone calls right away. I'm horrible about getting back to people.

I write: An average of 8-10 emails a day. Thank goodness for the Internet.

I win: At trivia games, name that tune, duck-duck goose.

I wish: When I was a kid I always wanted to visit Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Now, I wish that..................Who am I kidding? I still want to go there.

I can usually be found: Reading, cooking, feeding hungry children, and "bloggin' it up" as my husband would say.

I am scared: Of Clowns, spiders, heights, hissing beetles, guys with chainsaws, tofu, jello with vegetables in it, and deep water where I can't see the bottom.

I need: At least 8 hours of sleep to feel human

I forget: To return compliments. Like when someone says: "Why Jane, that is a lovely sweater you are wearing." The polite way to reply would be something like: "Thank you Martha, and I just love those new earrings you have on." Instead, I usually just mumble some lousy thing like: "Oh, this old sweater? Ya, I got it on sale for like 5 bucks and it's been in the back of my closet for a year.....ramble, ramble. So I do apologize if I have seemed rude to anyone. I swear it's just a really bad habit I have.

I am happy: When the house is spotless, the laundry is done, and my children are impeccably clean. HA! Ya right, I'd never be happy in that case. Really I am most happy when I am spending time with my family and we are having fun together. Even if it is just hanging outside in the backyard or going to get ice cream after dinner. I love it when Kendle tells me, "Mom, this was the best day ever!"
